I sat in the waiting room after completing the simulation.
In truth, it had been a simple story.
Once I arrested the three suspects along with the other officials, I assigned guards to monitor them while instructing the remaining personnel to conduct a thorough search of the Priestess's, Ranger's, and Village Chief's residences.
While they worked, I reviewed the Code of Conduct again to confirm I had not overlooked any clauses. Everything I had done was permissible within the rules of the scenario.
In the end, the investigation concluded itself.
The guards discovered inconsistencies in the Ranger's home, traces of the stolen Heartstone, and evidence pointing to deliberate concealment. When confronted, the Ranger broke down and confessed. The Priestess had been part of the elaborate scheme to steal the Heartstone, and the three suspects had been an innocent bystanders.
The Priestess explained that her actions stemmed from dissatisfaction with the Village Chief's governance.
